SUBSTITUTED PYRAZOLYL[4,3-C]PYRID1NECOMPOUNDS AS RET KINASE
INHIBITORS
[00011 BACKGROUND
[00021 The present disclosure relates to novel compounds which exhibit Rearranged during Transfection (RET) kinase inhibition, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, processes for making the compounds, and the use of the compounds in therapy.
More particularly, it relates to substituted pyrazoly1[4,3-c]pyridine compounds compounds useful in the treatment and prevention of diseases which can be treated with a RET kinase inhibitor, including RET-associated diseases and disorders.
[00031 RET is a single-pass transmembrane receptor belonging to the tyrosine kinase superfamily that is required for normal development, maturation and maintenance of several tissues and cell types (Mulligan, L. M., Nature Reviews Cancer, 2014, 14, 173-186). The extracellular portion of the RET kinase contains four calcium-dependent cadherin-like repeats involved in ligand binding and a juxtamembrane cysteine-rich region necessary for the correct folding of the RET extracellular domain, while the cytoplasmic portion of the receptor includes two tyrosine kinase subdomains.
[000411 RET signaling is mediated by the binding of a group of soluble proteins of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands (GFLs), which also includes neurturin (NTRN), artemin (ARTN) and persephin (PSPN) (Arighi et al., Cytokine Growth Factor Rev., 2005, 16, 441-67). Unlike other receptor tyrosine kinases, RET does not directly bind to GFLs and requires an additional co-receptor: that is, one of four GDNF family receptor-a (GFRa) family members, which are tethered to the cell surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage. GFLs and GFRa family members form binary complexes that in turn bind to RET and recruit it into cholesterol-rich membrane subdomains, which are known as lipid rafts, where RET signaling Date Recue/Date Received 2021-11-19 occurs.
[0005] Upon binding of the ligand-co-receptor complex, RET dimerization and autophosphorylation on intracellular tyrosine residues recruits adaptor and signaling proteins to stimulate multiple downstream pathways. Adaptor protein binding to these docking sites leads to activation of Ras-MAPK and PI3K-Akt/mTOR signaling pathways or to recruitment of the CBL
family of ubiquitin ligases that functions in RET downregulation of the RET-mediated functions.
[0006]
Aberrant RET expression and/or activity have been demonstrated in different cancers and in gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

IC50 values are shown in Table 5.
[00199] In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein exhibit potent and selective RET inhibition. For example, the compounds provided herein exhibit nanomolar potency against wild type RET and a RET kinase encoded by a RET gene including an activating mutation or a RET kinase inhibitor resistance mutation, including, for example, the KIF5B-RET fusion, G81OR
and G810S ATP cleft front mutations, M918T activating mutation, and V804M, V804L, and V804E gatekeeper mutations, with minimal activity against related kinases.
[00200]

[00201] In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein exhibit nanomolar potency against an altered RET fusion protein encoded by a RET gene encoding the RET
fusion protein (e.g. any of the RET fusion proteins described herein including, without limitation, CCDC6-RET
or KIF5B-RET) which RET gene includes a RET kinase inhibitor resistance mutation (e.g., any of the RET mutations described herein including, without limitation, V804M, V804L, or V804E) such that the altered RET protein is a RET fusion protein that exhibits RET
kinase resistance due to the presence of a RET kinase inhibitor resistance amino acid substitution or deletion. Non-limiting examples include CCDC6-RET-V804M and KIF5B-RET-V804M. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein exhibit nanomolar potency against an altered RET
protein encoded by a RET gene that that includes a RET mutation (e.g. any of the RET mutations described herein including, without limitation, C634W or M918T) and that includes a RET kinase inhibitor resistance mutation (e.g., any of the RET kinase inhibitor resistance mutations described herein including, without limitation, V804M, V804L, or V804E) such that the altered RET protein includes a RET substitution caused by the RET mutation (e.g., a RET primary mutation) and the altered RET protein exhibits RET kinase resistance due to the presence of a RET kinase inhibitor resistance amino acid substitution or deletion.
[00202] In some embodiments, the compounds of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, selectively target a RET kinase. For example, a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, can selectively target a RET
kinase over another kinase or non-kinase target.
[00203] In some embodiments, a compound of Formula I, or a phaiinaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, exhibits at least a 30-fold selectivity for a RET
kinase over another kinase.
For example, a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, exhibits at least a 40-fold selectivity; at least a 50-fold selectivity; at least a 60-fold selectivity; at least a 70-fold selectivity; at least a 80-fold selectivity; at least a 90-fold selectivity; at least 100-fold selectivity; at least 200-fold selectivity; at least 300-fold selectivity; at least 400-fold selectivity; at least 500-fold selectivity; at least 600-fold selectivity; at least 700-fold selectivity;
at least 800-fold selectivity; at least 900-fold selectivity; or at least 1000-fold selectivity for a RET
kinase over another kinase. In some embodiments, selectivity for a RET kinase over another kinase is measured in a cellular assay (e.g., a cellular assay as provided herein).
[00204] In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein can exhibit selectivity for a RET kinase over a KDR kinase (e.g., VEGFR2). In some embodiments, the selectivity for a RET
kinase over a KDR kinase is observed without loss of potency for a RET kinase encoded by a RET
gene including an activating mutation or a RET kinase inhibitor resistance mutation (e.g., a gatekeeper mutant). In some embodiments, the selectivity over a KDR kinase is at least 10-fold (e.g., at least a 40-fold selectivity, at least a 50-fold selectivity, at least a 60-fold selectivity, at least a 70-fold selectivity; at least a 80-fold selectivity; at least a 90-fold selectivity; at least 100-fold selectivity; at least 150-fold selectivity; at least 200-fold selectivity; at least 250-fold selectivity; at least 300-fold selectivity; at least 350-fold selectivity; or at least 400-fold selectivity) as compared to the inhibition of KIF5B-RET (e.g., the compounds are more potent against KIF5B-RET than KDR). In some embodiments, the selectivity for a RET kinase over a KDR kinase is about 30-fold. In some embodiments, the selectivity for a RET kinase over a KDR kinase is at least 100-fold. In some embodiments, the selectivity for a RET kinase over a KDR kinase is at least 150-fold. In some embodiments, the selectivity for a RET kinase over a KDR kinase is at least 400-fold. Without being bound by any theory, potent KDR kinase inhibition is believed to be a common feature among multikinase inhibitors (MKIs) that target RET and may be the source of the dose-limiting toxicities observed with such compounds.
[00205] In some embodiments, inhibition of V804M is similar to that observed for wild-type RET. For example, inhibition of V804M is within about 2-fold (e.g., about

5-fold, about 7-fold, about 10-fold) of inhibition of wild-type RET (e.g., the compounds are similarly potent against wild-type RET and V804M). In some embodiments, selectivity for a wildtype or V804M
RET kinase over another kinase is measured in an enzyme assay (e.g., an enzyme assay as provided herein). In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein exhibit selective cytotoxicity to RET-mutant cells.
[00206] In some embodiments, inhibition of G810S and/or G81OR is similar to that observed for wild-type RET. For example, inhibition of G810S and/or G81OR is within about 2-fold (e.g., about 5-fold, about 7-fold, about 10-fold) of inhibition of wild-type RET
(e.g., the compounds are similarly potent against wild-type RET and G810S and/or G81OR). In some embodiments, selectivity for a wildtype or G810S and/or G81OR RET kinase over another kinase is measured in an enzyme assay (e.g., an enzyme assay as provided herein). In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein exhibit selective cytotoxicity to RET-mutant cells.
[00207] In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein exhibit brain and/or central nervous system (CNS) penetrance. Such compounds are capable of crossing the blood brain barrier and inhibiting a RET kinase in the brain and/or other CNS structures. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein are capable of crossing the blood brain barrier in a therapeutically effective amount. For example, treatment of a patient with cancer (e.g., a RET-associated cancer such as a RET-associated brain or CNS cancer) can include administration (e.g., oral administration) of the compound to the patient. In some such embodiments, the compounds provided herein are useful for treating a primary brain tumor or metastatic brain tumor. For example, a RET-associated primary brain tumor or metastatic brain tumor.
[00208] In some embodiments, the compounds of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, exhibit one or more of high GI absorption, low clearance, and low potential for drug-drug interactions.
[00209] Compounds of Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof are useful for treating diseases and disorders which can be treated with a RET
kinase inhibitor, such as RET-associated diseases and disorders, e.g., proliferative disorders such as cancers, including hematological cancers and solid tumors (e.g., advanced solid tumors and/or RET-fusion positive solid tumors), and gastrointestinal disorders such as IBS.
[00210] As used herein, terms "treat" or "treatment" refer to therapeutic or palliative measures. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation, in whole or in part, of symptoms associated with a disease or disorder or condition, diminishment of the extent of disease, stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state (e.g., one or more symptoms of the disease), and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable. "Treatment"
can also mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment.
[00211] As used herein, the terms "subject," "individual," or "patient,"
are used interchangeably, refers to any animal, including mammals such as mice, rats, other rodents, rabbits, dogs, cats, swine, cattle, sheep, horses, primates, and humans. In some embodiments, the patient is a human. In some embodiments, the subject has experienced and/or exhibited at least one symptom of the disease or disorder to be treated and/or prevented. In some embodiments, the subject has been identified or diagnosed as having a cancer with a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same (a RET-associated cancer) (e.g., as determined using a regulatory agency-approved, e.g., FDA-approved, assay or kit). In some embodiments, the subject has a tumor that is positive for a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET
protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same (e.g., as determined using a regulatory agency-approved assay or kit). The subject can be a subject with a tumor(s) that is positive for a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same (e.g., identified as positive using a regulatory agency-approved, e.g., FDA-approved, assay or kit).
The subject can be a subject whose tumors have a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET protein, or expression or activity, or a level of the same (e.g., where the tumor is identified as such using a regulatory agency-approved, e.g., FDA-approved, kit or assay). In some embodiments, the subject is suspected of having a RET-associated cancer. In some embodiments, the subject has a clinical record indicating that the subject has a tumor that has a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET
protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same (and optionally the clinical record indicates that the subject should be treated with any of the compositions provided herein). In some embodiments, the patient is a pediatric patient.
[00212] The term "pediatric patient" as used herein refers to a patient under the age of 21 years at the time of diagnosis or treatment. The term "pediatric" can be further be divided into various subpopulations including: neonates (from birth through the first month of life); infants (1 month up to two years of age); children (two years of age up to 12 years of age); and adolescents (12 years of age through 21 years of age (up to, but not including, the twenty-second birthday)).

In some embodiments, a pediatric patient is from birth through the first 28 days of life, from 29 days of age to less than two years of age, from two years of age to less than 12 years of age, or 12 years of age through 21 years of age (up to, but not including, the twenty-second birthday). In some embodiments, a pediatric patient is from birth through the first 28 days of life, from 29 days of age to less than 1 year of age, from one month of age to less than four months of age, from three months of age to less than seven months of age, from six months of age to less than 1 year of age, from 1 year of age to less than 2 years of age, from 2 years of age to less than 3 years of age, from 2 years of age to less than seven years of age, from 3 years of age to less than 5 years of age, from 5 years of age to less than 10 years of age, from 6 years of age to less than 13 years of age, from 10 years of age to less than 15 years of age, or from 15 years of age to less than 22 years of age.
[00213] In certain embodiments, compounds of Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof are useful for preventing diseases and disorders as defined herein (for example, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, and cancer). The term "preventing" as used herein means the prevention of the onset, recurrence or spread, in whole or in part, of the disease or condition as described herein, or a symptom thereof.
[00214] The term "RET-associated disease or disorder" as used herein refers to diseases or disorders associated with or having a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET
kinase (also called herein RET kinase protein), or the expression or activity or level of any (e.g., one or more) of the same (e.g., any of the types of dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, a RET kinase domain, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same described herein).
Non-limiting examples of a RET-associated disease or disorder include, for example, cancer and gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
[00215] The term "RET-associated cancer" as used herein refers to cancers associated with or having a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase (also called herein RET
kinase protein), or expression or activity, or level of any of the same. Non-limiting examples of a RET-associated cancer are described herein.
[00216] The phrase "dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same" refers to a genetic mutation (e.g., a chromosomal translocation that results in the expression of a fusion protein including a RET kinase domain and a fusion partner, a mutation in a RET gene that results in the expression of a RET protein that includes a deletion of at least one amino acid as compared to a wildtype RET protein, a mutation in a RET gene that results in the expression of a RET protein with one or more point mutations as compared to a wildtype RET protein, a mutation in a RET gene that results in the expression of a RET protein with at least one inserted amino acid as compared to a wildtype RET protein, a gene duplication that results in an increased level of RET protein in a cell, or a mutation in a regulatory sequence (e.g., a promoter and/or enhancer) that results in an increased level of RET
protein in a cell), an alternative spliced version of a RET mRNA that results in a RET protein having a deletion of at least one amino acid in the RET protein as compared to the wild-type RET
protein), or increased expression (e.g., increased levels) of a wildtype RET kinase in a mammalian cell due to aberrant cell signaling and/or dysregulated autocrine/paracrine signaling (e.g., as compared to a control non-cancerous cell). As another example, a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET
protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same, can be a mutation in a RET gene that encodes a RET protein that is constitutively active or has increased activity as compared to a protein encoded by a RET gene that does not include the mutation. For example, a dysregulation of a RET
gene, a RET protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same, can be the result of a gene or chromosome translocation which results in the expression of a fusion protein that contains a first portion of RET that includes a functional kinase domain, and a second portion of a partner protein (i.e., that is not RET). In some examples, dysregulation of a RET
gene, a RET protein, or expression or activity or level of any of the same can be a result of a gene translocation of one RET gene with another non-RET gene. Non-limiting examples of fusion proteins are described in Table 1. Non-limiting examples of RET kinase protein point mutations/insertions/deletions are described in Table 2. Additional examples of RET kinase protein mutations (e.g., point mutations) are RET inhibitor resistance mutations. Non-limiting examples of RET inhibitor resistance mutations are described in Tables 3 and 4.
[00217] In some embodiments, dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same can be caused by an activating mutation in a RET gene (see, e.g., chromosome trans] ocati ons that result in the expression of any of the fusion proteins listed in Table 1). In some embodiments, dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same can be caused by a genetic mutation that results in the expression of a RET kinase that has increased resistance to inhibition by a RET kinase inhibitor and/or a multi-kinase inhibitor (MKI), e.g., as compared to a wildtype RET
kinase (see, e.g., the amino acid substitutions in Tables 3 and 4). In some embodiments, dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same can be caused by a mutation in a nucleic acid encoding an altered RET protein (e.g., a RET fusion protein or a RET protein having a mutation (e.g., a primary mutation)) that results in the expression of an altered RET
protein that has increased resistance to inhibition by a RET kinase inhibitor and/or a multi-kinase inhibitor (MKI), e.g., as compared to a wildtype RET kinase (see, e.g., the amino acid substitutions in Tables 3 and 4). The exemplary RET kinase point mutations, insertions, and deletions shown in Table 2 can be caused by an activating mutation and/or can result in the expression of a RET kinase that has increased resistance to inhibition by a RET kinase inhibitor and/or a multi-kinase inhibitor (MKI).

[00218] The term "activating mutation" describes a mutation in a RET kinase gene that results in the expression of a RET kinase that has an increased kinase activity, e.g., as compared to a wildtype RET kinase, e.g., when assayed under identical conditions. For example, an activating mutation can result in the expression of a fusion protein that includes a RET
kinase domain and a fusion partner. In another example, an activating mutation can be a mutation in a RET kinase gene that results in the expression of a RET kinase that has one or more (e.g., two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten) amino acid substitutions (e.g., any combination of any of the amino acid substitutions described herein) that has increased kinase activity, e.g., as compared to a wildtype RET kinase, e.g., when assayed under identical conditions. In another example, an activating mutation can be a mutation in a RET kinase gene that results in the expression of a RET kinase that has one or more (e.g., two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten) amino acids deleted, e.g., as compared to a wildtype RET kinase, e.g., when assayed under identical conditions. In another example, an activating mutation can be a mutation in a RET kinase gene that results in the expression of a RET kinase that has at least one (e.g., at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, at least 10, at least 12, at least 14, at least 16, at least 18, or at least 20) amino acid inserted as compared to a wildtype RET kinase, e.g., the exemplary wildtype RET kinase described herein, e.g., when assayed under identical conditions Additional examples of activating mtuations are known in the art.
[00219] The term "wildtype" or "wild-type" describes a nucleic acid (e.g., a RET gene or a RET
mRNA, an EGFR gene or a EGFR mRNA, a MET gene or MET mRNA, a MDM2 gene or a MDM2 mRNA) or protein (e.g., a RET protein, an EGFR protein, a MET protein, a protein) that is typically found in a subject that does not have a disease or disorder related to the reference nucleic acid or protein.
[00220] The term "wildtype RET" or "wild-type RET" describes a RET nucleic acid (e.g., a RET gene or a RET mRNA) or a RET protein that is found in a subject that does not have a RET-associated disease, e.g., a RET-associated cancer (and optionally also does not have an increased risk of developing a RET-associated disease and/or is not suspected of having a RET-associated disease), or is found in a cell or tissue from a subject that does not have a RET-associated disease, e.g., a RET-associated cancer (and optionally also does not have an increased risk of developing a RET-associated disease and/or is not suspected of having a RET-associated disease).
[00221] The term "regulatory agency" refers to a country's agency for the approval of the medical use of pharmaceutical agents with the country. For example, a non-limiting example of a regulatory agency is the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
[00222] Provided herein is a method of treating cancer (e.g., a RET-associated cancer) in a patient in need of such treatment, the method comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Founula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof or a pharmaceutical composition thereof. For example, provided herein are methods for treating a RET-associated cancer in a patient in need of such treatment, the method comprising a) detecting a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same in a sample from the patient; and b) administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

[00229] Accordingly, also provided herein is a method for treating a patient diagnosed with or identified as having a RET-associated cancer, e.g., any of the exemplary RET-associated cancers disclosed herein, comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof as defined herein. In some embodiments, a compound of Formula I is selected from Examples 1-79, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof In some embodiments, a compound of Formula I is selected from the compound of Examples 1-10, Examples 11-20, Examples 21-30, Examples 31-40, Examples 41-50, Examples 51-60, Examples 61-70, Examples 71-79, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
[00230] Dysregulation of a RET kinase, a RET gene, or the expression or activity or level of any (e.g., one or more) of the same can contribute to tumorigenesis. For example, a dysregulation of a RET kinase, a RET gene, or expression or activity or level of any of the same can be a translocation, overexpression, activation, amplification, or mutation of a RET
kinase, a RET gene, or a RET kinase domain. Translocation can include a gene translocation resulting in the expression of a fusion protein that includes a RET kinase domain and a fusion partner.
For example, a fusion protein can have increased kinase activity as compared to a wildtype RET
protein. In some embodiments, a mutation in a RET gene can involve mutations in the RET ligand-binding site, extracellul ar domains, kinase domain, and in regions involved in protein:protei n interactions and downstream signaling. In some embodiments, a mutation (e.g., an activating mutation) in a RET
gene can result in the expression of a RET kinase having one or more (e.g., two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten) amino acid substitutions (e.g., one or more amino acid substitutions in the kinase domain (e.g., amino acid positions 723 to 1012 in a wildtype RET
protein), a gatekeeper amino acid (e.g., amino acid position 804 in a wildtype RET
protein), the P-loop (e.g., amino acid positions 730-737 in a wildtype RET protein), the DFG motif (e.g., amino acid positions 892-894 in a wildtype RET protein), ATP cleft solvent front amino acids (e.g., amino acid positions 758, 811, and 892 in a wildtype RET protein), the activation loop (e.g., amino acid positions 891-916 in a wildtype RET protein), the C-helix and loop preceeding the C-helix (e.g., amino acid positions 768-788 in a wildtype RET protein), and/or the ATP
binding site (e.g., amino acid positions 730-733, 738, 756, 758, 804, 805, 807, 811, 881, and 892 in a wildtype RET
protein). In some embodiments, a mutation can be a gene amplification of a RET
gene. In some embodiments, a mutation (e.g., an activating mutation) in a RET gene can result in the expression of a RET kinase or RET receptor that lacks at least one amino acid (e.g., at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, at least 10, at least 12, at least 14, at least 16, at least 18, atleast 20, at least 25, at least 30, at least 35, at least 40, at least 45, or at least 50 amino acids) as compared to a wildtype RET protein. In some embodiments, dyregulation of a RET kinase can be increased expression (e.g., increased levels) of a wildtype RET kinase in a mammalian cell due to aberrant cell signaling and/or dysregulated autocrine/paracrine signaling (e.g., as compared to a control non-cancerous cell). In some embodiments, a mutation (e.g., an activating mutation) in a RET gene can result in the expression of a RET
kinase or RET receptor that has at least one amino acid (e.g., at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, at least 10, at least 12, at least 14, at least 16, at least 18, at least 20, at least 25, at least 30, at least 35, at least 40, at least 45, or at least 50 amino acids) inserted as compared to a wildtype RET protein. In some embodiments, dyregulation of a RET kinase can be increased expression (e.g., increased levels) of a wildtype RET kinase in a mammalian cell (e.g., as compared to a control non-cancerous cell), e.g., due to aberrant cell signaling and/or dysregulated autocrine/paracrine signaling. Other dysregulations can include RET mRNA
splice variants. In some embodiments, the wildtype RET protein is the exemplary wildtype RET
protein described herein.

[00231] In some embodiments, the dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, includes overexpressi on of wild-type RET kinase (e.g., leading to autocrine activation). In some embodiments, the dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase protein, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, includes overexpression, activation, amplification, or mutation in a chromosomal segment comprising the RET gene or a portion thereof, including, for example, the kinase domain portion, or a portion capable of exhibiting kinase activity.
[00232] In some embodiments, the dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase protein, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, includes one or more chromosome translocations or inversions resulting in a RET gene fusion. In some embodiments, the dysregulation of a RET
gene, a RET kinase protein, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, is a result of genetic translocations in which the expressed protein is a fusion protein containing residues from a non-RET partner protein, and includes a minimum of a functional RET kinase domain.
[00233] Non-limiting examples of RET fusion proteins are shown in Table 1.

[00236] In some embodiments, the dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, includes a splice variation in a RET mRNA
which results in an expressed protein that is an alternatively spliced variant of RET having at least one residue deleted (as compared to the wild-type RET kinase) resulting in a constitutive activity of a RET kinase domain.
[00237] A "RET kinase inhibitor" as defined herein includes any compound exhibiting RET
inhibition activity. In some embodiments, a RET kinase inhibitor is selective for a RET kinase.
Exemplary RET kinase inhibitors can exhibit inhibition activity (ICso) against a RET kinase of less than about 1000 nM, less than about 500 nM, less than about 200 nM, less than about 100 nM, less than about 50 nM, less than about 25 nM, less than about 10 nM, or less than about 1 nM as measured in an assay as described herein. In some embodiments, a RET kinase inhibitor can exhibit inhibition activity (ICso) against a RET kinase of less than about 25 nM, less than about 10 nM, less than about 5 nM, or less than about 1 nM as measured in an assay as provided herein.
[00238] As used herein, a "first RET kinase inhibitor" or "first RET inhibitor" is a RET
kinase inhibitor as defined herein, but which does not include a compound of Foi mula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof as defined herein. As used herein, a "second RET kinase inhibitor" or a "second RET inhibitor" is a RET kinase inhibitor as defined herein, but which does not include a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof as defined herein. When both a first and a second RET inhibitor are present in a method provided herein, the first and second RET kinase inhibitor are different.

[00239] In some embodiments, the dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, includes at least one point mutation in a RET
gene that results in the production of a RET kinase that has one or more amino acid substitutions or insertions or deletions in a RET gene that results in the production of a RET kinase that has one or more amino acids inserted or removed, as compared to the wild-type RET
kinase. In some cases, the resulting RET kinase is more resistant to inhibition of its phosphotransferase activity by one or more first RET kinase inhibitor(s), as compared to a wildtype RET kinase or a RET kinase not including the same mutation. Such mutations, optionally, do not decrease the sensitivity of the cancer cell or tumor having the RET kinase to treatment with a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof (e.g., as compared to a cancer cell or a tumor that does not include the particular RET inhibitor resistance mutation) In such embodiments, a RET inhibitor resistance mutation can result in a RET kinase that has one or more of an increased Vmax, a decreased Km for ATP, and an increased KD for a first RET kinase inhibitor, when in the presence of a first RET kinase inhibitor, as compared to a wildtype RET kinase or a RET kinase not having the same mutation in the presence of the same first RET kinase inhibitor.
[00240] In other embodiments, the dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET
kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, includes at least one point mutation in a RET
gene that results in the production of a RET kinase that has one or more amino acid substitutions as compared to the wild-type RET kinase, and which has increased resistance to a compound of Folinula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, as compared to a wildtype RET
kinase or a RET kinase not including the same mutation. In such embodiments, a RET inhibitor resistance mutation can result in a RET kinase that has one or more of an increased Vmax, a decreased Km, and a decreased KD in the presence of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, as compared to a wildtype RET kinase or a RET kinase not having the same mutation in the presence of the same compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
[00241] Examples of RET inhibitor resistance mutations can, e.g., include point mutations, insertions, or deletions in and near the ATP binding site in the tertiary structure of RET kinase (e.g., amino acid positions 730-733, 738, 756, 758, 804, 805, 807, 810, 811, 881, and 892 of a wildtype RET kinase, e.g., the exemplary wildtype RET kinase described herein), including but not limited to a gatekeeper residue (e.g., amino acid position 804 in a wildtype RET kinase), P-loop residues (e.g., amino acid positions 730-737 in a wildtype RET kinase), residues in or near the DFG motif (e.g., amino acid positions 888-898 in a wildtype RET kinase), and ATP cleft solvent front amino acid residues (e.g., amino acid positions 758, 811, and 892 of a wildtype RET
kinase). Additional examples of these types of mutations include changes in residues that may affect enzyme activity and/or drug binding including but are not limited to residues in the activation loop (e.g., amino acid positions 891-916 of a wildtype RET kinase), residues near or interacting with the activation loop, residues contributing to active or inactive enzyme conformations, changes including mutations, deletions, and insertions in the loop proceeding the C-helix and in the C-helix (e.g., amino acid positions 768-788 in a wildtype RET protein). In some embodiments, the wildtype RET protein is the exemplary wildtype RET kinase described herein.
Specific residues or residue regions that may be changed (and are RET
inhibitor resistance mutations) include but are not limited to those listed in Table 3, with numbering based on the human wildtype RET protein sequence (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 1). As can be appreciated by those skilled in the art, an amino acid position in a reference protein sequence that corresponds to a specific amino acid position in SEQ ID NO: 1 can be determined by aligning the reference protein sequence with SEQ ID NO: 1 (e.g., using a software program, such as ClustalW2). Additional examples of RFT inhibitor resistance mutation positions are shown in Table 4 Changes to these residues may include single or multiple amino acid changes, insertions within or flanking the sequences, and deletions within or flanking the sequences.

[00243] In some embodiments, a RET inhibitor resistance mutation can include a dysregulation of a MET gene, a MET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same.
[00244] In some embodiments, compounds of Formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates are useful in treating patients that develop cancers with RET inhibitor resistance mutations (e.g., that result in an increased resistance to a first RET
inhibitor, e.g., a substitution at amino acid position 804, e.g., V804M, V804L, or V804E, a substitution at amino acid position 810, e.g., G810S, G810R, G810C, G810A, G810V, and G810D, and/or one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations listed in Tables 3 and 4) by either dosing in combination or as a subsequent or additional (e.g., follow-up) therapy to existing drug treatments (e.g., other RET kinase inhibitors; e.g., first and/or second RET kinase inhibitors). Exemplary first and second RET kinase inhibitors are described herein. In some embodiments, a first or second RET
kinase inhibitor can be selected from the group consisting of cabozantinib, vandetanib, alectinib, apatinib, sitravatinib, sorafenib, lenvatinib, ponatinib, dovitinib, sunitinib, foretinib, DS-5010, LOX0-292, BLU667, and BLU6864.
[00245] In some embodiments, compounds of Formula I or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof are useful for treating a cancer that has been identified as having one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations (that result in an increased resistance to a first or second RET
inhibitor, e.g., a substitution at amino acid position 804, e.g., V804M, V804L, or V804E a substitution at amino acid position 810, e.g., G810S, G810R, G810C, G810A, G810V, and G810D). In some embodiments, the one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations occur in a nucleic acid sequence encoding a RET fusion protein (e.g. any of the RET gene fusion proteins described in Table 1) resulting in a RET fusion protein that exhibits RET
kinase inhibitor resistance. In some embodiments, the one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations occurs in a nucleic acid sequence encoding a mutant RET protein (e.g. a mutant RET protein having any of the mutations described in Table 2) resulting in a mutant RET protein that exhibits RET kinase resistance. Non-limiting examples of RET inhibitor resistance mutations are listed in Tables 3 and 4.

Approximately 20-30% of PTC harbor somatic chromosomal rearrangements (translocations or inversions) linking the promoter and the 5' portions of constitutively expressed, unrelated genes to the RET tyrosine kinase domain (Greco et al., Q. J.
Nucl. Meal. Mol. Imaging, 2009, 53, 440-54), therefore driving its ectopic expression in thyroid cells. Fusion proteins generated by such rearrangements are termed "RET/PTC"
proteins. For example, RET/PTC 1 is a fusion between CCDD6 and RET that is commonly found in papillary thyroid carcinomas Similarly, both RET/PTC3 and RET/PTC4 are fusions of ELE1 and RET that are commonly found in papillary thyroid carcinomas, although the fusion events resulting RET/PTC3 and RET/PTC4 lead to different proteins with different molecular weights (see e.g., Fugazzola et al., Oncogene, 13(5):1093-7, 1996). Some RET fusions associated with PTC are not referred to as "RET/PTC", but instead are referred to as the the fusion protein inself. For example, fusion between RET and both ELKS and PCM1 are found in PTCs, but the fusion proteins are referred to as ELKS-RET and PCM1-RET (see e.g., Romei and Elisei, Front.
Endocrinol.
(Lausanne), 3:54, doi: 10.3389/fendo.2012.00054, 2012). The role of RET-PTC
rearrangements in the pathogenesis of PTC has been confirmed in transgenic mice (Santoro et al., Oncogene, 1996, 12, 1821-6). To date, a variety of fusion partners have been identified, from PTC and other cancer types, all providing a protein/protein interaction domain that induces ligand-independent RET
dimerization and constitutive kinase activity (see, e.g., Table 1). Recently, a 10.6 Mb pericentric inversion in chromosome 10, where RET gene maps, has been identified in about 2% of lung adenocarcinoma patients, generating different variants of the chimeric gene KIF5B-RET (Ju et al., Genonie Res., 2012, 22, 436-45; Kohno et al., 2012, Nature Med., 18, 375-7;
Takeuchi et al., Nature Med., 2012, 18, 378-81; Lipson et al., 2012, Nature Med , 18, 382-4).
The fusion transcripts are highly expressed and all the resulting chimeric proteins contain the N-terminal portion of the coiled-coil region of KIF5B, which mediates homodimerization, and the entire RET kinase domain. None of RET positive patients harbor other known oncogenic alterations (such as EGFR
or K-Ras mutation, ALK translocation), supporting the possibility that KIF5B-RET fusion could be a driver mutation of lung adenocarcinoma. The oncogenic potential of KIF5B-RET has been confirmed by transfecting the fusion gene into cultured cell lines: similarly to what has been observed with RET-PTC fusion proteins, KIF5B-RET is constitutively phosphorylated and induces NIH-3T3 transformation and IL-3 independent growth of BA-F3 cells.
However, other RET fusion proteins have been identified in lung adenocarcinoma patients, such as the CCDC6-RET fusion protein, which has been found to play a key role in the proliferation of the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line LC-2/ad (Journal of Thoracic Oncology', 2012, 7(12):1872-1876). RET
inhibitors have been shown to be useful in treating lung cancers involving RET
rearrangements (Dril on, A E. et al. Oncol 33, 2015 (suppl; abstr 8007)). RET fusion proteins have also been identified in patients having colorectal cancer (Song Eun-Kee, et al.
International ,Journal of Cancer, 2015, 136: 1967-1975).
[00247] Besides rearrangements of the RET sequence, gain of function point mutations of RET proto-oncogene are also driving oncogenic events, as shown in medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), which arises from parafollicular calcitonin-producing cells (de Groot, et al., Endocrine Rev., 2006, 27, 535-60; Wells and Santoro, Clin. Cancer Res., 2009, 15, 7119-7122). Around 25%
of MTC are associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2), a group of inherited cancer syndromes affecting neuroendocrine organs caused by germline activating point mutations of RET. In MEN2 subtypes (MEN2A, MEN2B and Familial MTC/FMTC) RET gene mutations have a strong phenotype-genotype correlation defining different MTC
aggressiveness and clinical manifestations of the disease. In MEN2A syndrome mutations involve one of the six cysteine residues (mainly C634) located in the cysteine-rich extracellular region, leading to ligand-independent homodimerization and constitutive RET activation. Patients develop MTC at a young age (onset at 5-25 years) and may also develop pheochromocytoma (50%) and hyperparathyroidism. MEN2B is mainly caused by M918T mutation, which is located in the kinase domain. This mutation constitutively activates RET in its monomeric state and alters substrate recognition by the kinase. MEN2B syndrome is characterized by an early onset (< 1 year) and very aggressive form of MTC, pheochromocytoma (50% of patients) and ganglioneuromas. In FMTC
the only disease manifestation is MTC, usually occurring at an adult age. Many different mutations have been detected, spanning the entire RET gene. The remaining 75% of MTC
cases are sporadic and about 50% of them harbor RET somatic mutations: the most frequent mutation is M918T that, as in MEN2B, is associated with the most aggressive phenotype. Somatic point mutations of RET
have also been described in other tumors such as colorectal cancer (Wood et al., Science, 2007, 318, 1108-13) and small cell lung carcinoma (fpn. I Cancer Res., 1995, 86, 1127-30). In some embodiments, the MTC is a RET-fusion positive MTC.
[00248] RET signaling components have been found to be expressed in primary breast tumors and to functionally interact with estrogen receptor-cc pathway in breast tumor cell lines (Boulay et al., Cancer Res. 2008, 68, 3743-51; Plaza-Menacho et al., Oncogene, 2010, 29, 4648-57), while RET expression and activation by GDNF family ligands could play an important role in perineural invasion by different types of cancer cells (Ito et al., Surgery, 2005, 138, 788-94; Gil et al., J. Natl. Cancer Inst., 2010, 102, 107-18; Iwahashi et al., Cancer, 2002, 94, 167-74).

[00249] RET is also expressed in 30-70% of invasive breast cancers, with expression being relatively more frequent in estrogen receptor-positive tumors (Plaza-Menacho, 1., et al., Oncogene, 2010, 29, 4648-4657; Esseghir, S., et al., Cancer Res., 2007, 67, 11732-11741;
Morandi, A., et al., Cancer Res., 2013, 73, 3783-3795; Gattelli, A., EMBO Mol. Med., 2013,5, 1335-1350).
[00250] The identification of RET rearrangements has been reported in a subset of (patient-derived xenograft) PDX established from colorectal cancer. Although the frequency of such events in colorectal cancer patients remains to be defined, these data suggest a role of RET as a target in this indication (Gozgit et al., AACR Annual Meeting 2014). Studies have shown that the RET
promoter is frequently methylated in colorectal cancers, and heterozygous missense mutations, which are predicted to reduce RET expression, are identified in 5-10% of cases, which suggests that RET might have some features of a tumor suppressor in sporadic colon cancers (Luo, Y., et al., Oncogene, 2013, 32, 2037-2047; Sjoblom, T., et al., Science, 2006, 268-274; Cancer Genome Atlas Network, Nature, 2012, 487, 330-337).
[00251] An increasing number of tumor types are now being shown to express substantial levels of wild-type RET kinase that could have implications for tumor progression and spread RET is expressed in 50-65% of pancreatic ductal carcinomas, and expression is more frequent in metastatic and higher grade tumors (Ito, Y, et al., Surgery, 2005, 138, 788-794; Zeng, Q., et al., Int. Med. Res. 2008, 36, 656-664) [00252] In neoplasms of hematopoietic lineages, RET is expressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with monocytic differentiation, as well as in CMML (Gattei, V.
et al., Blood, 1997, 89, 2925-2937; Gattei, V., et al., Ann. Hematol, 1998, 77, 207-210;
Camos, M., Cancer Res. 2006, 66, 6947-6954). Recent studies have identified rare chromosomal rearrangements that involve RET in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) CMML is frequently associated with rearrangements of several tyrosine kinases, which result in the expression of chimeric cytosolic oncoproteins that lead to activation of RAS pathways (Kohlmann, A., et al., Cl/n. Oncol. 2010, 28, 2858-2865). In the case of RET, gene fusions that link RET with BCR
(BCR-RET) or with fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 oncogene partner (FGFR I
OP-RET) were transforming in early hematopoietic progenitor cells and could shift maturation of these cells towards monocytic paths, probably through the initiation of RET-mediated RAS
signaling (Ballerini, P., et al., Leukemia, 2012, 26, 2384-2389).
[00253] RET expression has also been shown to occur in several other tumor types, including prostate cancer, small-cell lung carcinoma, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, and head and neck tumors (Narita, N., et al., Oncogene, 2009, 28, 3058-3068; Mulligan, L. M., et al., Genes Chromosomes Cancer, 1998, 21, 326-332; Flavin, R., et al., Ural. Oncol., 2012, 30, 900-905;
Dawson, D. M., J Natl Cancer Kist, 1998, 90, 519-523).
[00254] In neuroblastoma, RET expression and activation by GFLs has roles in tumor cell differentiation, potentially collaborating with other neurotrophic factor receptors to down regulate N-Myc, the expression of which is a marker of poor prognosis (Hofstra, R. M., W., et al., Hum.
Genet. 1996, 97, 362-364; Petersen, S. and Bogenmann, E., Oncogene, 2004, 23, 213-225;
Brodeur, G. M., Nature Ref Cancer, 2003, 3, 203-216).
[00255] Multitargeted inhibitors which cross react with RET are known (Borrello, M.G., et al., Expert Op/n. Ther. Targets, 2013, 17(4), 403-419; International Patent Application Nos. WO
2014/141187, WO 2014/184069, and WO 2015/079251). Such multitargeted inhibitors (or multikinase inhibitors or MKIs) can also be associated with development of RET
inhibitor resistance mutations. See, for example, Q. Huang et al., "Preclinical Modeling of KIF5B-RET
Fusion Lung Adenocarcinoma.," Mot Cancer Ther., no. 18, pp. 2521-2529, 2016;

For example, the selected treatment can include administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. Some embodiments can further include a step of performing an assay on a sample obtained from the patient to determine whether the patient has a dysregulation of a RET
gene, a RET kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, and identifying and diagnosing a patient determined to have a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET
kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, as having a RET-associated cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a RET-associated cancer having one or more RET
inhibitor resistance mutations. In some embodiments, the patient has been identified or diagnosed as having a RET-associated cancer through the use of a regulatory agency-approved, e.g., FDA-approved, kit for identifying dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, in a patient or a biopsy sample from the patient. In some embodiments, the RET-associated cancers is a cancer described herein or known in the art. In some embodiments, the assay is an in vitro assay. For example, an assay that utilizes the next generation sequencing, immunohistochemistry, or break apart FISH analysis. In some embodiments, the assay is a regulatory agency-approved, e.g., FDA-approved, kit. In some embodiments, the assay is a liquid biopsy.
[00272] Also provided herein are methods of selecting a treatment for a patient, wherein the methods include a step of performing an assay on a sample obtained from the patient to deteiinine whether the patient has a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same (e.g., one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations), and identifying or diagnosing a patient determined to have a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET
kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, as having a RET-associated cancer. Some embodiments further include administering the selected treatment to the patient identified or diagnosed as having a RET-associated cancer. For example, the selected treatment can include administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof to the patient identified or diagnosed as having a RET-associated cancer. In some embodiments, the assay is an in vitro assay.
For example, an assay that utilizes the next generation sequencing, immunohistochemistry, or break apart FISH
analysis. In some embodiments, the assay is a regulatory agency-approved, e.g., FDA-approved, kit. In some embodiments, the assay is a liquid biopsy.
[00273] Also provided are methods of selecting a patient for treatment, wherein the methods include selecting, identifying, or diagnosing a patient having a RET-associated cancer, and selecting the patient for treatment including administration of a therapeutically-effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. In some embodiments, identifying or diagnosing a patient as having a RET-associated cancer can include a step of performing an assay on a sample obtained from the patient to determine whether the patient has a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, and identifying or diagnosing a patient determined to have a dysregulation of a RET
gene, a RET kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, as having a RET-associated cancer. In some embodiments, the method of selecting a patient for treatment can be used as a part of a clinical study that includes administration of various treatments of a RET-associated cancer. In some embodiments, a RET-associated cancer is a cancer having one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations. In some embodiments, the assay is an in vitro assay. For example, an assay that utilizes the next generation sequencing, immunohistochemistry, or break apart FISH analysis. In some embodiments, the assay is a regulatory agency-approved, e.g., FDA-approved, kit. In some embodiments, the assay is a liquid biopsy. In some embodiments, the dysregulation of the RET gene, the RET kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same includes one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations.
[00274] In some embodiments of any of the methods or uses described herein, an assay used to determine whether the patient has a dysregulation of a RET gene, or a RET
kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same, using a sample from a patient can include, for example, next generation sequencing, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, break apart FISH
analysis, Southern blotting, Western blotting, FACS analysis, Northern blotting, and PCR-based amplification (e.g., RT-PCR and quantitative real-time RT-PCR). As is well-known in the art, the assays are typically performed, e.g., with at least one labelled nucleic acid probe or at least one labelled antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. Assays can utilize other detection methods known in the art for detecting dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or expression or activity or levels of any of the same (see, e.g., the references cited herein). In some embodiments, the dysregulation of the RET gene, the RET kinase, or expression or activity or level of any of the same includes one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations. In some embodiments, the sample is a biological sample or a biopsy sample (e.g., a paraffin-embedded biopsy sample) from the patient. In some embodiments, the patient is a patient suspected of having a RET-associated cancer, a patient having one or more symptoms of a RET-associated cancer, and/or a patient that has an increased risk of developing a RET-associated cancer).
[00275] In some embodiments, dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same can be identified using a liquid biopsy (variously referred to as a fluid biopsy or fluid phase biopsy). See, e.g., Karachialiou et al., "Real-time liquid biopsies become a reality in cancer treatment", Ann. D-ansl. Med., 3(3):36, 2016.
Liquid biopsy methods can be used to detect total tumor burden and/or the dysregulation of a RET
gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same. Liquid biopsies can be performed on biological samples obtained relatively easily from a subject (e.g., via a simple blood draw) and are generally less invasive than traditional methods used to detect tumor burden and/or dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same. In some embodiments, liquid biopsies can be used to detect the presence of dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same at an earlier stage than traditional methods. In some embodiments, the biological sample to be used in a liquid biopsy can include, blood, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, sputum, broncho-alveolar lavage, bile, lymphatic fluid, cyst fluid, stool, ascites, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, a liquid biopsy can be used to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs). In some embodiments, a liquid biopsy can be used to detect cell-free DNA. In some embodiments, cell-free DNA
detected using a liquid biopsy is circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) that is derived from tumor cells.
Analysis of ctDNA
(e.g., using sensitive detection techniques such as, without limitation, next-generation sequencing (NGS), traditional PCR, digital PCR, or microarray analysis) can be used to identify dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same [00276] In some embodiments, ctDNA derived from a single gene can be detected using a liquid biopsy. In some embodiments, ctDNA derived from a plurality of genes (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100 or more, or any number of genes in between these numbers) can be detected using a liquid biopsy. In some embodiments, ctDNA derived from a plurality of genes can be detected using any of a variety of commercially-available testing panels (e.g., commercially-available testing panels designed to detect dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same). Liquid biopsies can be used to detect dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same including, without limitation, point mutations or single nucleotide variants (SNVs), copy number variants (CNVs), genetic fusions (e.g., translocations or rearrangements), insertions, deletions, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, a liquid biopsy can be used to detect a germline mutation. In some embodiments, a liquid biopsy can be used to detect a somatic mutation. In some embodiments, a liquid biopsy can be used to detect a primary genetic mutation (e.g., a primary mutation or a primary fusion that is associated with initial development of a disease, e.g., cancer). In some embodiments, a liquid biopsy can be used to detect a genetic mutation that develops after development of the primary genetic mutation (e.g., a resistance mutation that arises in response to a treatment administered to a subject). In some embodiments, a dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same identified using a liquid biopsy is also present in a cancer cell that is present in the subject (e.g., in a tumor). In some embodiments, any of the types of dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same described herein can be detected using a liquid biopsy. In some embodiments, a genetic mutation identified via a liquid biopsy can be used to identify the subject as a candidate for a particular treatment. For example, detection of dysregulation of a RET gene, a RET kinase, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same in the subject can indicate that the subject will be responsive to a treatment that includes administration of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
[00277] Liquid biopsies can be performed at multiple times during a course of diagnosis, a course of monitoring, and/or a course of treatment to determine one or more clinically relevant parameters including, without limitation, progression of the disease, efficacy of a treatment, or development of resistance mutations after administering a treatment to the subject. For example, a first liquid biopsy can be performed at a first time point and a second liquid biopsy can be performed at a second time point during a course of diagnosis, a course of monitoring, and/or a course of treatment. In some embodiments, the first time point can be a time point prior to diagnosing a subject with a disease (e.g., when the subject is healthy), and the second time point can be a time point after subject has developed the disease (e.g., the second time point can be used to diagnose the subject with the disease). In some embodiments, the first time point can be a time point prior to diagnosing a subject with a disease (e.g., when the subject is healthy), after which the subject is monitored, and the second time point can be a time point after monitoring the subject.
In some embodiments, the first time point can be a time point after diagnosing a subject with a disease, after which a treatment is administered to the subject, and the second time point can be a time point after the treatment is administered; in such cases, the second time point can be used to assess the efficacy of the treatment (e.g., if the genetic mutation(s) detected at the first time point are reduced in abundance or are undetectable) or to determine the presence of a resistance mutation that has arisen as a result of the treatment. In some embodiments, a treatment to be administered to a subject can include a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
[00278] In some embodiments, the efficacy of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, can be determined by assessing the allele frequency of a dysregulation of a RET gene in cfDNA obtained from a patient at different time points, e.g., cfDNA obtained from the patient at a first time point and cfDNA obtained from the patient at a second time point, where at least one dose of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, is administered to the patient between the first and second time points. Some embodiments of these methods can further include administering to the patient the at least one dose of the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, between the first and second time points. For example, a reduction (e.g., a 1% to about a 99% reduction, a 1% to about a 95% reduction, a 1% to about a 90% reduction, a 1% to about a 85% reduction, a 1% to about a 80% reduction, a 1% to about a 75% reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 70% reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 65% reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 60%
reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 55% reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 50% reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 45% reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 40%
reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 35 4) reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 30% reduction, a 1%
reduction to about a 25% reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 20% reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 15% reduction, a 1% reduction to about a 10% reduction, a 1% to about a 5% reduction, about a 5% to about a 99% reduction, about a 10% to about a 99% reduction, about a 15% to about a 99% reduction, about a 20% to about a 99% reduction, about a 25% to about a 99% reduction, about a 30% to about a 99% reduction, about a 35% to about a 99% reduction, about a 40% to about a 99%
reduction, about a 45% to about a 99% reduction, about a 50% to about a 99%
reduction, about a 55% to about a 99% reduction, about a 60% to about a 99% reduction, about a 65% to about a 99%
reduction, about a 70% to about a 99% reduction, about a 75% to about a 95%
reduction, about a 80% to about a 99% reduction, about a 90% reduction to about a 99% reduction, about a 95% to about a 99% reduction, about a 5% to about a 10% reduction, about a 5% to about a 25% reduction, about a 10% to about a 30% reduction, about a 20% to about a 40% reduction, about a 25% to about a 50% reduction, about a 35% to about a 55% reduction, about a 40% to about a 60%
reduction, about a 50% reduction to about a 75% reduction, about a 60%
reduction to about 80%
reduction, or about a 65% to about a 85% reduction) in the allele frequency (AF) of the dysregulation of a RET gene in the cfiDNA obtained from the patient at the second time point as compared to the allele frequency (AF) of the dysregulation of a RET gene in the cfDNA obtained from the patient at the first time point indicates that the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, was effective in the subject. In some embodiments, the AF is reduced such that the level is below the detection limit of the instrument.
Alternatively, an increase in the allele frequency (AF) of the dysregulation of a RET gene in the cfDNA obtained from the patient at the second time point as compared to the allele frequency (AF) of the dysregulation of a RET gene in the cfDNA obtained from the patient at the first time point indicates that the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, was not effective in the subject (e.g., the subject has developed a resistance mutation to the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof). Some embodiments of these methods can further include, administering additional doses of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, to a patient in which a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, was determined to be effective. Some embodiments of these methods can further include, administering a different treatment (e.g., a treatment that does not include the administration of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, as a monotherapy) to a patient in which a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, was determined not to be effective.
[00279] In some examples of these methods, the time difference between the first and second time points can be about 1 day to about 1 year, about 1 day to about 11 months, about 1 day to about 10 months, about 1 day to about 9 months, about 1 day to about 8 months, about 1 day to about 7 months, about 1 day to about 6 months, about 1 day to about 5 months, about 1 day to about 4 months, about 1 day to about 3 months, about 1 day to about 10 weeks, about 1 day to about 2 months, about 1 day to about 6 weeks, about 1 day to about 1 month, about 1 day to about 25 days, about 1 day to about 20 days, about 1 day to about 15 days, about 1 day to about 10 days, about 1 day to about 5 days, about 2 days to about 1 year, about 5 days to about 1 year, about 10 days to about 1 year, about 15 days to about 1 year, about 20 days to about 1 year, about 25 days to about 1 year, about 1 month to about 1 year, about 6 weeks to about 1 year, about 2 months to about 1 year, about 3 months to about 1 year, about 4 months to about 1 year, about 5 months to about 1 year, about 6 months to about 1 year, about 7 months to about 1 year, about 8 months to about 1 year, about 9 months to about 1 year, about 10 months to about 1 year, about 11 months to about 1 year, about 1 day to about 7 days, about 1 day to about 14 days, about 5 days to about days, about 5 day to about 20 days, about 10 days to about 20 days, about 15 days to about 1 month, about 15 days to about 2 months, about 1 week to about 1 month, about 2 weeks to about 1 month, about 1 month to about 3 months, about 3 months to about 6 months, about 4 months to about 6 months, about 5 months to about 8 months, or about 7 months to about 9 months. In some embodiments of these methods, the patient can be previously identified as having a cancer having a dysregulated RET gene (e.g., any of the examples of a dysregulated RET gene described herein).
In some embodiments of these methods, a patient can have been previously diagnosed as having any of the types of cancer described herein. In some embodiments of these methods, the patient can have one or more metastases (e.g., one or more brain metastases).
[00280] In some of the above embodiments, the cfDNA comprises ctDNA such as RET-associated ctDNA. For example, the cfDNA is ctDNA such as RET-associated ctDNA. In some embodiments, at least some portion of cfDNA is determined to be RET-associated ctDNA, for example, a sequenced and/or quantified amount of the total cfDNA is determined to have a RET
fusion and/or a RET resistance mutation.
[00281] In the field of medical oncology it is normal practice to use a combination of different forms of treatment to treat each patient with cancer. In medical oncology the other component(s) of such conjoint treatment or therapy in addition to compositions provided herein may be, for example, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapeutic agents, such as other kinase inhibitors, signal transduction inhibitors and/or monoclonal antibodies. For example, a surgery may be open surgery or minimally invasive surgery. Compounds of Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof, therefore may also be useful as adjuvants to cancer treatment, that is, they can be used in combination with one or more additional therapies or therapeutic agents, for example, a chemotherapeutic agent that works by the same or by a different mechanism of action.
In some embodiments, a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, can be used prior to administration of an additional therapeutic agent or additional therapy.
For example, a patient in need thereof can be administered one or more doses of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof for a period of time and then under go at least partial resection of the tumor. In some embodiments, the treatment with one or more doses of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof reduces the size of the tumor (e.g., the tumor burden) prior to the at least partial resection of the tumor. In some embodiments, a patient in need thereof can be administered one or more doses of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof for a period of time and under one or more rounds of radiation therapy. In some embodiments, the treatment with one or more doses of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof reduces the size of the tumor (e.g., the tumor burden) prior to the one or more rounds of radiation therapy.
[00282] In some embodiments, a patient has a cancer (e.g., a locally advanced or metastatic tumor) that is refractory or intolerant to standard therapy (e.g., administration of a chemotherapeutic agent, such as a first RET inhibitor or a multikinase inhibitor, immunotherapy, or radiation (e.g., radioactive iodine)). In some embodiments, a patient has a cancer (e.g., a locally advanced or metastatic tumor) that is refractory or intolerant to prior therapy (e.g., administration of a chemotherapeutic agent, such as a first RET inhibitor or a multikinase inhibitor, immunotherapy, or radiation (e.g., radioactive iodine)). In some embodiments, a patient has a cancer (e.g., a locally advanced or metastatic tumor) that has no standard therapy. In some embodiments, a patient is RET-kinase inhibitor naive. For example, the patient is naive to treatment with a selective RET-kinase inhibitor. In some embodiments, a patient is not RET-kinase inhibitor naïve.
[00283] In some embodiments, a patient has undergone prior therapy. In some embodiments, a patient having NSCLC (e.g, a RET-fusion positive NSCLS) has received treatment with a platinum-based chemotherapy, PD-1/PDL1 immunotherapy, or both prior to treatment with a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. In some embodiments, a patient having a thyroid cancer (e.g., a RET-fusion positive thyroid cancer) has received treatment with one or more of sorafenib, lenvatinib, and radioactive iodine prior to treatment with a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
In some embodiments, a patient having a colorectal cancer (e.g., a RET-fusion positive colorectal cancer) has received treatment with a fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy, with or without ant-VEGF-directed therapy or anti-EGFR-directed therapy, prior to treatment with a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. In some embodiments, a patient having a pancreatic cancer (e.g., a RET-fusion positive pancreatic cancer) has received treatment with one or more of a fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy, a gemcitabine-based chemotherapy, and a S-1 chemotherapy prior to treatment with a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. In some embodiments, a patient having a breast cancer (e.g., a RET-fusion positive breast cancer) has received treatment with one or more of anthracycline, taxane, HER2-directed therapy, and hormonal therapy prior to treatment with a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. In some embodiments, a patient having a MTC (e.g., a RET-fusion positive MTC cancer) has received treatment with one or more of caboxantinib and vandetanib prior to treatment with a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
[00284] In some embodiments of any the methods described herein, the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, is administered in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of at least one additional therapeutic agent selected from one or more additional therapies or therapeutic (e.g., chemotherapeutic) agents.
[00285] Non-limiting examples of additional therapeutic agents include: other RET-targeted therapeutic agents (i.e. a first or second RET kinase inhibitor), other kinase inhibitors (e.g., receptor tyrosine kinase-targeted therapeutic agents (e.g., Trk inhibitors or EGER inhibitors)), signal transduction pathway inhibitors, checkpoint inhibitors, modulators of the apoptosis pathway (e.g. obataclax); cytotoxic chem oth crap euti c s, an gi ogenesi s-targeted therapies, immune-targeted agents, including immunotherapy, and radiotherapy.
[00286] In some embodiments, the other RET-targeted therapeutic is a multikinase inhibitor exhibiting RET inhibition activity. In some embodiments, the other RET-targeted therapeutic inhibitor is selective for a RET kinase. Exemplary RET kinase inhibitors can exhibit inhibition activity (IC5o) against a RET kinase of less than about 1000 nM, less than about 500 nM, less than about 200 nM, less than about 100 nM, less than about 50 nM, less than about 25 nM, less than about 10 nM, or less than about 1 nM as measured in an assay as described herein. In some embodiments, a RET kinase inhibitors can exhibit inhibition activity (IC5o) against a RET kinase of less than about 25 nM, less than about 10 nM, less than about 5 nM, or less than about 1 nM as measured in an assay as provided herein.
[00287] Non-limiting examples of RET-targeted therapeutic agents (e.g., a first RET inhibitor or a second RET inhibitor) include alectinib (9-Ethy1-6,6-dimethy1-844-(morpholin-4-y1)piperidin-1-y1]-11-oxo-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[b]carbazole-3-carbonitrile);

In some embodiments, the cancer is a lung cancer (e.g., a RET-associated lung cancer).
[00347] Although the genetic basis of tumorigenesis may vary between different cancer types, the cellular and molecular mechanisms required for metastasis appear to be similar for all solid tumor types. During a metastatic cascade, the cancer cells lose growth inhibitory responses, undergo alterations in adhesiveness and produce enzymes that can degrade extracellular matrix components. This leads to detachment of tumor cells from the original tumor, infiltration into the circulation through newly formed vasculature, migration and extravasation of the tumor cells at favorable distant sites where they may folin colonies. A number of genes have been identified as being promoters or suppressors of metastasis. For example, overexpression of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and its RET receptor tyrosine kinase have been correlated with cancer proliferation and metastasis. See, e.g., Zeng, Q. et al. J. Int. Med. Res.
(2008) 36(4): 656-64.
[00348] Accordingly, also provided herein are methods for inhibiting, preventing, aiding in the prevention, or decreasing the symptoms of metastasis of a cancer in a patient in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof or a pharmaceutical composition thereof. Such methods can be used in the treatment of one or more of the cancers described herein. See, e.g., US Publication No. 2013/0029925; International Publication No. WO
2014/083567; and US Patent No. 8,568,998. See also, e.g., Hezam K et al., Rev Neurosci 2018 Jan 26;29:93-98; Gao L, et al., Pancreas 2015 Jan;44:134-143; Ding K et al., I
Biol Chem 2014 Jun 6; 289:16057-71; and Amit M et al., Oncogene 2017 Jun 8; 36:3232-3239. In some embodiments, the cancer is a RET-associated cancer. In some embodiments, the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof is used in combination with an additional therapy or another therapeutic agent, including a chemotherapeutic agent, such as a kinase inhibitor. For example, a first or second RET kinase inhibitor. In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent is crizotinib. In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent is osimertinib. In some embodiments, the patient has been administered one or more doses of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, prior to administration of the pharmaceutical composition. In some embodiments, the cancer is a lung cancer (e.g., a RET-associated lung cancer).
[00349] The term "metastasis" is an art known term and means the formation of an additional tumor (e.g., a solid tumor) at a site distant from a primary tumor in a subject or patient, where the additional tumor includes the same or similar cancer cells as the primary tumor.
[00350] Also provided are methods of decreasing the risk of developing a metastasis or an additional metastasis in a patient having a RET-associated cancer that include: selecting, identifying, or diagnosing a patient as having a RET-associated cancer, and administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof to the patient selected, identified, or diagnosed as having a RET-associated cancer. Also provided are methods of decreasing the risk of developing a metastasis or an additional metastasis in a patient having a RET-associated cancer that includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof to a patient having a RET-associated cancer. The decrease in the risk of developing a metastasis or an additional metastasis in a patient having a RET-associated cancer can be compared to the risk of developing a metastasis or an additional metastasis in the patient prior to treatment, or as compared to a patient or a population of patients having a similar or the same RET-associated cancer that has received no treatment or a different treatment. In some embodiments, the RET-associated cancer is a RET-associated cancer having one or more RET
inhibitor resistance mutations. In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent is crizotinib.
In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent is osimertinib. In some embodiments, the patient has been administered one or more doses of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, prior to administration of the pharmaceutical composition. In some embodiments, the cancer is a lung cancer (e.g., a RET-associated lung cancer).
[00351] The phrase "risk of developing a metastasis" means the risk that a subject or patient having a primary tumor will develop an additional tumor (e.g., a solid tumor) at a site distant from a primary tumor in a subject or patient over a set period of time, where the additional tumor includes the same or similar cancer cells as the primary tumor. Methods for reducing the risk of developing a metastasis in a subject or patient having a cancer are described herein.
[00352] The phrase "risk of developing additional metastases" means the risk that a subject or patient having a primary tumor and one or more additional tumors at sites distant from the primary tumor (where the one or more additional tumors include the same or similar cancer cells as the primary tumor) will develop one or more further tumors distant from the primary tumor, where the further tumors include the same or similar cancer cells as the primary tumor. Methods for reducing the risk of developing additional metastasis are described herein.
[00353] In some embodiments, the presence of one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations in a tumor causes the tumor to be more resistant to treatment with a first RET
inhibitor. Methods useful when a RET inhibitor resistance mutation causes the tumor to be more resistant to treatment with a first RET inhibitor are described below. For example, provided herein are methods of treating a subject having a cancer that include. identifying a subject having a cancer cell that has one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations; and administering to the identified subject a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. In some embodiments, the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof is administered in combination with the first RET inhibitor. Also provided are methods of treating a subject identified as having a cancer cell that has one or more RET
inhibitor resistance mutations that include administering to the subject a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof In some embodiments, the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof is administered in combination with the first RET inhibitor. In some embodiments, the one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations confer increased resistance to a cancer cell or tumor to treatment with the first RET
inhibitor. In some embodiments, the one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations include one or more RET
inhibitor resistance mutations listed in Tables 3 and 4. For example, the one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations can include a substitution at amino acid position 804, e.g., V804M, V804L, or V804E, or a substitution at amino acid position 810, e.g., G810S, G810R, G810C, G810A, G810V, and G810D.

When resistance to therapy is suspected, the subject can undergo one or more of imaging, biopsy, surgery, or other diagnostic tests. In some embodiments, when resistance to the therapy is suspected, the subject can be administered (either as a monotherapy or in combination with the previous therapy) a compound capable of treating a RET inhibitor resistance (e.g., a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, as provided herein). See, for example, Cancer Discov; 7(12); 1368-70 (2017); and Cancer Discov; 7(12); 1394-403 (2017).
[00378] In some embodiments provided herein, a protein biomarker can be used to monitor the responsiveness of a patient to a particular therapy (e.g., a first RET
inhibitor, a second RET
inhibitor, or a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof).
For example, prior to starting treatment with a therapy as described herein (e.g., a first RET
inhibitor, a second RET inhibitor, or a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof), a biogical sample can be obtained from the subject and the level of a protein biomarker can be determined in the biological sample. This sample can be considered a base-line sample. The subject can then be administered one or more doses of a therapy as described herein (e.g., a first RET inhibitor, a second RET inhibitor, or a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof) and the levels of the protein biomarker can be monitored (e.g., after the first dose, second dose, third dose, etc. or after one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, etc.).

In some embodiments, the level of the protein biomarker is reduced such that it is below the detection limit of the instrument. In some embodiments, the level of the protein biomarker in a biological sample obtained from the patient (n) is compared to the sample taken just previous (n-1).

[00439] The phrase "dysregulation of a kinase gene, a kinase protein, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same" refers to a genetic mutation (e.g., a chromosomal translocation that results in the expression of a fusion protein including a kinase domain and a fusion partner, a mutation in a kinase gene that results in the expression of a protein that includes a deletion of at least one amino acid as compared to a wildtype kinase protein, a mutation in a kinase gene that results in the expression of a kinase protein with one or more point mutations as compared to a wildtype kinase protein, a mutation in a kinase gene that results in the expression of a kinase protein with at least one inserted amino acid as compared to a wildtype kinase protein, a gene duplication that results in an increased level of kinase protein in a cell, or a mutation in a regulatory sequence (e.g., a promoter and/or enhancer) that results in an increased level of kinase protein in a cell), an alternative spliced version of a mRNA that results in a kinase protein having a deletion of at least one amino acid in the protein as compared to the wild-type kinase protein), or increased expression (e.g., increased levels) of a wildtype kinase protein in a mammalian cell due to aberrant cell signaling and/or dysregulated autocrine/paracrine signaling (e.g., as compared to a control non-cancerous cell). As another example, a dysregulation of a kinase gene, a kinase protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same, can be a mutation in a kinase gene that encodes a kinase protein that is constitutively active or has increased activity as compared to a kinase protein encoded by a kinase gene that does not include the mutation. For example, a dysregulation of a kinase gene, a kinase protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same, can be the result of a gene or chromosome translocation which results in the expression of a fusion protein that contains a first portion of a kinase protein that includes a functional kinase domain, and a second portion of a partner protein (i.e., that is not the primary protein).
In some examples, dysregulation of a kinase gene, a kinase protein, or expression or activity or level of any of the Date Recue/Date Received 2021-11-19 same can be a result of a gene translocation of one kinase gene with a different gene. In some such embodiments, a kinase is selected from the group consisting of ALK, BRAF, CDK4, EGFR, FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, HER2, KIT, MEK, MET, mTOR, PIK3CA, RAF, and ROS1.
[00440] The phrase "dysregulation of a non-kinase gene, a non-kinase protein, or the expression or activity or level of any of the same" refers to a genetic mutation (e.g., a chromosomal translocation that results in the expression of a fusion protein including a domain of the non-kinase protein and a fusion partner, a mutation in a non-kinase gene that results in the expression of a non-kinase protein that includes a deletion of at least one amino acid as compared to a wildtype protein, a mutation in a non-kinase gene that results in the expression of a non-kinase protein with one or more point mutations as compared to a wildtype non-kinase protein, a mutation in a gene that results in the expression of a non-kinase protein with at least one inserted amino acid as compared to a wildtype non-kinase protein, a gene duplication that results in an altered level of non-kinase protein in a cell, or a mutation in a regulatory sequence (e.g., a promoter and/or enhancer) that results in altered level of non-kinase protein in a cell), an alternative spliced version of a mRNA that results in a non-kinase protein having a deletion of at least one amino acid in the non-kinase protein as compared to the wild-type non-kinase protein), or altered expression (e.g., altered levels) of a wildtype non-kinase protein in a mammalian cell due to aberrant cell signaling and/or dysregulated autocrine/paracrine signaling (e.g., as compared to a control non-cancerous cell). In some embodiments, an altered level of a non-kinase protein in a cell can be an increase in the level of the non-kinase protein in a cell. For example, dysregulation of a non-kinase oncogene can result in an increased level of the oncogenic non-kinase protein in a cell. In some embodiments, an altered level of a non-kinase protein in a cell can be a decrease in the level of the non-kinase protein in a cell. For example, dysregulation of a tumor suppressor can result in a decreased level of the tumor suppressor protein in a cell. As another example, a dysregulation of a non-kinase gene, a non-kinase protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same, can be a mutation in a non-kinase gene that encodes a non-kinase protein that is constitutively active or has increased activity as compared to a non-kinase protein encoded by a non-kinase gene that does not include the mutation. As another example, a dysregulation of a non-kinase gene, a non-kinase protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same, can be a mutation in a non-kinase gene that encodes a non-kinase protein that is constitutively inactive or has decreased activity as compared to a non-kinase protein encoded by a non-kinase gene that does not include the mutation. For example, a dysregulation of a non-kinase gene, a non-kinase protein, or expression or activity, or level of any of the same, can be the result of a gene or chromosome translocation which results in the expression of a fusion protein that contains a first portion of a non-kinase protein, and a second portion of a partner protein (i.e., that is not the primary protein).
In some examples, dysregulation of a non-kinase gene, a non-kinase protein, or expression or activity or level of any of the same can be a result of a gene translocation of one non-kinase gene with a different gene. In some such embodiments, a non-kinase can be selected from the group consisting of aromatase, BRCA2, CDK2NB, CDKN2A, EHMT2, GNAS, MDM2, Myc, NF1, RAS (e.g., KRAS), and SOS1.

inhibitor resistance mutations confer increased resistance to a cancer cell or tumor to treatment with a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
[00499] In some embodiments of any of the methods described herein, a RET
inhibitor resistance mutation that confers increased resistance to a cancer cell or tumor to treatment with a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, can be any of the RET inhibitor resistance mutations listed in Table 3 or 4.
[00500] Methods of determining the level of resistance of a cancer cell or a tumor to a RET
inhibitor (e.g., any of the RET inhibitors described herein or known in the art) can be determined using methods known in the art. For example, the level of resistance of a cancer cell to a RET
inhibitor can be assessed by determining the IC5o of a RET inhibitor (e.g., any of the RET inhibitors described herein or known in the art) on the viability of a cancer cell. In other examples, the level of resistance of a cancer cell to a RET inhibitor can be assessed by determining the growth rate of the cancer cell in the presence of a RET inhibitor (e.g., any of the RET
inhibitors described herein).
In other examples, the level of resistance of a tumor to a RET inhibitor can be assessed by determining the mass or size of one or more tumors in a subject over time during treatment with a RET inhibitor (e.g., any of the RET inhibitors described herein). In other examples, the level of resistance of a cancer cell or a tumor to a RET inhibitor can be indirectly assessed by determining the activity of a RET kinase including one or more of the RET inhibitor resistance mutations (i.e., the same RET kinase expressed in a cancer cell or a tumor in a subject). The level of resistance of a cancer cell or tumor having one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations to a RET inhibitor is relative to the level of resistance in a cancer cell or tumor that does not have a RET inhibitor resistance mutation (e.g., a cancer cell or tumor that does not have the same RET inhibitor resistance mutations, a cancer cell or a tumor that does not have any RET
inhibitor resistance mutations, or a cancer cell or a tumor that expresses a wildtype RET protein).
For example, the determined level of resistance of a cancer cell or a tumor having one or more RET inhibitor resistance mutations can be greater than about 1%, greater than about 2%, greater than about 3%
,greater than about 4%, greater than about 5%, greater than about 6%, greater than about 7%, greater than about 8%, greater than about 9%, greater than about 10%, greater than about 11%, greater than about 12%, greater than about 13%, greater than about 14%, greater than about 15%, greater than about 20%, greater than about 25%, greater than about 30%, greater than about 35%, greater than about 40%, greater than about 45%, greater than about 50%, greater than about 60%, greater than about 70%, greater than about 80%, greater than about 90%, greater than about 100%, greater than about 110%, greater than about 120%, greater than about 130%, greater than about 140%, greater than about 150%, greater than about 160%, greater than about 170%, greater than about 180%, greater than about 190%, greater than about 200%, greater than about 210%, greater than about 220%, greater than about 230%, greater than about 240%, greater than about 250%, greater than about 260%, greater than about 270%, greater than about 280%, greater than about 290%, or greater than about 300% of the level of resistance in a cancer cell or tumor that does not have a RET inhibitor resistance mutation (e.g., a cancer cell or tumor that does not have the same RET inhibitor resistance mutations, a cancer cell or a tumor that does not have any RET inhibitor resistance mutations, or a cancer cell or a tumor that expresses a wildtype RET protein).
[00501] RET is thought to play an important role in the development and survival of afferent nociceptors in the skin and gut. RET kinase knock-out mice lack enteric neurons and have other nervous system anomalies suggesting that a functional RET kinase protein product is necessary during development (Taraviras, S. et al., Development, 1999, 126:2785-2797).
Moreover population studies of patients with Hirschsprung's disease characterized by colonic obstruction due to lack of normal colonic enervation have a higher proportion of both familial and sporadic loss of function RET mutations (Butler Tjaden N., et al., Transl. Res., 2013, 162: 1-15). Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common illness affecting 10-20% of individuals in developed countries and is characterized by abnormal bowel habits, bloating and visceral hypersensitivity (Camilleri, M., N. Engl. J. Med., 2012, 367: 1626-1635). While the etiology of IBS is unknown it is thought to result from either a disorder between the brain and gastrointestinal tract, a disturbance in the gut microbiome or increased inflammation. The resulting gastrointestinal changes affect normal bowel transit resulting in either diarrhea or constipation. Furthermore in many IBS
patients the sensitization of the peripheral nervous system results in visceral hypersensitivity or allodynia (Keszthelyi, D., Eur. J. Pain, 2012, 16: 1444-1454). See, e.g., U.S.
Publication No. 2015/0099762.

In some embodiments, the mammalian cancer cell is a RET-associated cancer cell. In some embodiments, the mammalian cell is a gastrointestinal cell.
[00515] As used herein, the term "contacting" refers to the bringing together of indicated moieties in an in vitro system or an in vivo system. For example, "contacting"
a RET kinase with a compound provided herein includes the administration of a compound provided herein to an individual or patient, such as a human, having a RET kinase, as well as, for example, introducing a compound provided herein into a sample containing a cellular or purified preparation containing the RET kinase.
[00516] Also provided herein is a method of inhibiting cell proliferation, in vitro or in vivo, the method comprising contacting a cell with an effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof as defined herein.
[00517] The phrase "effective amount" means an amount of compound that, when administered to a patient in need of such treatment, is sufficient to (i) treat a RET kinase-associated disease or disorder, (ii) attenuate, ameliorate, or eliminate one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder, or (iii) delay the onset of one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder described herein. The amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof that will correspond to such an amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound, disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., weight) of the patient in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art.
[00518] When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of Formula I, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof can be administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art, and can be administered by a variety of routes, depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and upon the area to be treated.
Administration can be topical (including transdermal, epidermal, ophthalmic and to mucous membranes including intranasal, vaginal and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal or intranasal), oral or parenteral. Oral administration can include a dosage form formulated for once-daily or twice-daily (BID) administration. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal intramuscular or injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be in the form of a single bolus dose, or can be, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration can include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable [00519] Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (excipients). For example, a pharmaceutical composition prepared using a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. In some embodiments, the composition is suitable for topical administration. In making the compositions provided herein, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.
In some embodiments, the composition is formulated for oral administration. In some embodiments, the composition is a solid oral formulation. In some embodiments, the composition is formulated as a tablet or capsule.
[00520] Further provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof as the active ingredient can be prepared by intimately mixing the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof with a pharmaceutical carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The carrier can take a wide variety of forms depending upon the desired route of administration (e.g., oral, parenteral). In some embodiments, the composition is a solid oral composition.
[00521]
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are well known in the art.
Descriptions of some of these pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be found in The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, published by the American Pharmaceutical Association and the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.
[00522]
Methods of formulating pharmaceutical compositions have been described in numerous publications such as Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets, Second Edition, Revised and Expanded, Volumes 1-3, edited by Lieberman et al; Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms:
Parenteral Medications, Volumes 1-2, edited by Avis et al; and Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms:
Disperse Systems, Volumes 1-2, edited by Lieberman et al; published by Marcel Dekker, Inc.
[00523] In preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media can be employed. Thus for liquid oral preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions, suitable carriers and additives include water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, stabilizers, coloring agents and the like; for solid oral preparations, such as powders, capsules and tablets, suitable carriers and additives include starches, sugars, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like. Suitable binders include, without limitation, starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium oleate, sodium steal-ate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride and the like.
Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum and the like. Solid oral preparations can also be coated with substances such as sugars or be enteric-coated so as to modulate major site of absorption. For parenteral administration, the carrier will usually consist of sterile water and other ingredients can be added to increase solubility or preservation. Injectable suspensions or solutions can also be prepared utilizing aqueous carriers along with appropriate additives. The pharmaceutical compositions herein will contain, per dosage unit, e.g., tablet, capsule, powder, injection, teaspoonful and the like, an amount of the active ingredient necessary to deliver an effective dose as described herein.
[00524] The compositions comprising a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof can be formulated in a unit dosage folin, each dosage containing from about 5 to about 1,000 mg (1 g), more usually about 100 mg to about 500 mg, of the active ingredient. The term "unit dosage form" refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other patients, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material (i.e., a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof) calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.
[00525] In some embodiments, the compositions provided herein contain from about 5 mg to about 50 mg of the active ingredient.

[00528] The daily dosage of the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof can be varied over a wide range from 1.0 to 10,000 mg per adult human per day, or higher, or any range therein. For oral administration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of tablets containing, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 25.0, 50.0, 100, 150, 160, 200, 250 and 500 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. An effective amount of the drug is ordinarily supplied at a dosage level of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 1000 mg/kg of body weight per day, or any range therein. Preferably, the range is from about 0.5 to about 500 mg/kg of body weight per day, or any range therein. More preferably, from about 1.0 to about. 250 rn.g/kg of body weight per day, or any range therein. More preferably, from about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day, or any range therein. In an example, the range can be from about 0.1 to about 50.0 mg/kg of body weight per day, or any amount or range therein. In another example, the range can be from about 0.1 to about 15.0 mg/kg of body weight per day, or any range therein. In yet another example, the range can be from. about 0.5 to about 7.5 mg/kg of body weight per day, or any amount to range therein.
Pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof can be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day or in a single daily dose_ [00529] The active compound may be effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. Optimal dosages to be administered can be readily determined by those skilled in the art. It will be understood, therefore, that the amount of the compound actually administered will usually be determined by a physician, and will vary according to the relevant circumstances, including the mode of administration, the actual compound administered, the strength of the preparation, the condition to be treated, and the advancement of the disease condition. In addition, factors associated with the particular patient being treated, including patient response, age, weight, diet, time of administration and severity of the patient's symptoms, will result in the need to adjust dosages.
[00530] In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein can be administered in an amount ranging from about 1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg. In some embodiments, the compound provided herein can be administered in an amount of about 1 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg, about 5 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg, about 10 mg/kg to about 40 mg/kg, about 15 mg/kg to about 45 mg/kg, about 20 mg/kg to about 60 mg/kg, or about 40 mg/kg to about 70 mg/kg.

In some embodiments, such administration can be once-daily or twice-daily (BID) administration. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein can be administered in an amount of about about 10 mg twice a day (BID), 20 mg BID, about 40 mg BID, about 60 mg BID, about 80 mg BID, about 120 mg BID, about 160 mg BID, and about 240 mg BID. In some embodiments, each dose is administered at least six hours after the previous dose. In some embodiments, each dose is administered at least twelve hours after the previous dose.
[00531] In some embodiments, a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof exhibits pH dependent solubility at lower pH values.
Accordingly, patients also receiving proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and/or antacids may need to adjust the dosage of the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof (e.g., increase the dose of the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof). In some embodiments, the isoform of cytochrome P450 (CUP) that metabolizes a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, is CYP3A4. Accordingly, patients also receiving agents that inhibit or induce CYP3A4 may need to adjust the dosage of the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof (e.g., increase the dose of the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, in the case of a CYP3A4 inducer or decrease the dose of the compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, in the case of a CYP3A4 inhibitor).
[00532] One skilled in the art will recognize that both in vivo and in vitro trials using suitable, known and generally accepted cell and/or animal models are predictive of the ability of a test compound to treat or prevent a given disorder.
[00533] One skilled in the art will further recognize that human clinical trials including first-in-human, dose ranging and efficacy trials, in healthy patients and/or those suffering from a given disorder, can be completed according to methods well known in the clinical and medical arts.

[00538] RET Enzyme Assay [00539] The potency of compounds inhibiting several different RET kinase forms (Wild Type, V804M, M918T, G810R, & G810S) were determined using CisBio' s HTRF
Kinease-TK
assay technology. The kinases were incubated with 250 nM TK-substrate biotin (CisBio, part of cat 4 62TKOPEC) at Km ATP along with test compounds in a buffer consisting of 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgC12, 0.01% Triton X-100, and 2% DMSO in a volume of 8 L
Compounds were typically prepared as a three-fold serial dilution in DMSO and added to the assay to give the appropriate final concentration. After a 30-min incubation at 22 C, the reaction was quenched by adding 8 ittL of quench solution containing 31.25 nM Sa-XL665 and lx TK-Ab-Cryptate in HTRF
detection buffer (all from CisBio, part of cat 4 62TKOPEC). After a 1 hour incubation at 22 C, the extent of reaction was deteunined using a PerkinElmer EnVision multimode plate reader via HTRF dual wavelength detection, and the percent of control (POC) was calculated using a ratiometric emission factor. One hundred POC was determined using DMSO only samples (no compound present), and 0 POC was determined using pre-quenched control reactions. A 4-parameter logistic curve was fit to the POC values as a function of the concentration of compound, and the IC50 value was the point where the best-fit curve crossed 50 POC.
